In addition to other import taxes that will likely be revealed later this week, US President donald trump declared on monday that the US will apply a 25% duty on all imports of steel and aluminum, including those from canada and Mexico.
While traveling from florida to New Orleans for the Super Bowl, trump informed reporters on board air Force One that "any steel coming into the united states is going to have a 25 percent tariff." Additionally, he affirmed that aluminum will face comparable trade sanctions, adding, "Aluminum, too."
In addition, the recently sworn US President emphasized that "reciprocal tariffs" will be implemented by tuesday or Wednesday. When other countries impose tariffs on US products, this would entail charging charges on foreign items.
"If they are charging us 130 percent and we're charging them nothing, it's not going to stay that way," trump stated.
Markets respond adversely.
Donald Trump's continued use of tariffs as a tool for negotiations and a way to raise money to close the government's budget deficit is reflected in these remarks. This is a change from his last presidency when his main priorities were deregulation and tax reduction.
Following Donald Trump's remarks on reciprocal tariffs, stock prices fell as financial markets responded unfavorably to last week's tariff measures. According to an Associated press article, consumer mood also declined as many Americans voiced fears about the taxes' possible inflationary implications.
Donald trump mentioned that he had previously postponed a 25% duty on all commodities from canada and Mexico, but he did not elaborate on the steel, aluminum, or reciprocal duties. It was stated just over a week ago that the suspension would run for 30 days.
Donald trump, meantime, has already taken action by imposing a 10% tax on Chinese goods.
Donald trump also said on friday that taxes on tiny packages, which are frequently imported by fast-fashion retailers like Temu and Shein, would be delayed until customs officials figure out how to apply them. Previously, these smaller shipments were not subject to duties.
